Newcastle United will listen to offers for England goalkeeper, 32, in the summer. (Football Insider) I wonder if a swap deal for Trafford at Burnley is on the cards? Or replacement for Sanchez at Chelsea?

I'm leaving party politics and my personal opinions aside when I post this, but it seems as though on either side of the Atlantic there is a widening gap between what politicians say in their election campaigning, and what they deliver when in power. There was a time when you knew what Tory and...

Given the 80 year-old Duke of Gloucester has had to step in for the King as Patron of Brighton Museums and the Royal Family have a massive Prince Andrew / Prince Harry / Meghan-sized hole then who could they bring in on a 10-year contract to help?

So Sky, The Daily Mail and a multitude of online sites are reporting Chelsea, Villa, Newcastle, Everton, Forest and Leicester will all need to sell in order to meet Profit & Sustainability Rules. This could be an interesting time, especially with the Euros going on throughout that period. Do...

Harsh?

With Charles battling his prostate, Kate out of action following abdominal surgery, Harry and Meghan on another continent and Prince Andrew ruled out through his alleged noncery I'd say - to borrow a phrase - the Royal Family are "down to the bare bones". So who would be a good stand-in to...

Ok, be honest: "Potter's not at the wheel Tell me how, how does it feel? To be sacked after 200 days While we walk down Wembley Way We'll carry on through it all Playing De Zerbi Ball Yes, we'll carry on through it all Playing De Zerbi Ball."

Whilst we are prolific at scouting and signing young players it is clear it is just as important to have experienced players with international experience who are leaders and can guide these kids. I wonder who might be out there that has the potential to perform that leadership role that we...

I was thinking of livening up a dull wet Tuesday night by watching this and downing a shot for every England goal scored.

The purpose of this thread is to find out if anyone else on NSC has an inflatable kayak, has any tips for me or decent locations around Sussex for a paddle? I live near Steyning so that's a good base to reach the Arun, Adur, south coast. It's my 54th birthday and I have just received an...

Former world darts champion Ted Hankey has been jailed for two years for a sexual assault caught on camera. Hankey, 54, from Berry Hill, Stoke-on-Trent, pinned down the young woman and, with an "air of entitlement", sexually assaulted her, Chester Crown Court heard. He pleaded guilty at an...

Ok, so USG will now definitely finish top of the Jupiler League table, and Undav, Mitoma have been key players. But are they ready for the Premier League? Initially, I see Undav replacing Connolly in the matchday squad, and with the expansion to 5 subs and 9 on bench I see Mitoma there...

Pease Pottage BP Service station - 167.9 per litre of unleaded. A full 12p per litre more than my local BP garage in Ashington, which already has a reputation for being dear. The screens on the 5 pumps around me had each spent c. £10 × 3 and £20 x 2, so nobody had come close to filling up...

One of the few things I have enjoyed about the lockdown period is the ability to work in casual clothing. Pre-Covid, I would generally wear a work shirt, smart black trousers, black leather shoes and - occasionally - a suit for a meeting. However, my usual attire for the last 18 months has...

A passionate crowd behind England. Some Trippier magic, an early goal. But gradually the momentum begins to swing. The opposition equalise midway through the second half and then extra time heartbreak. The stats paint a bleak picture. The opposition have 3 times as many shots on goal than us...

According to Oddschecker, the Swansea boss is 7/4 most places with odds shortening, while Lampard has drifted to 2nd favourite at 9/4. Dyche is still hovering around 7/2 third favourite. I would be very happy if Cooper got the Palace job. He's done well in the Championship but this is a big...

I see his 18-month contract with Inter is up this summer. They are currently 11 points clear atop of Serie A with 8 matches to go and he has played 55 times for them since joining in Jan 20, including 40 times in Serie A. I know there is now talk of him going back to his hometown club Watford...

What can you make jokes about any more? 1.We live at a time when stories of racism and sexism dominate the news. 2. We have lived through 4 years of Brexit that has divided the country. 3. Covid has killed tens of thousands, while waiting lists for medical treatment is at record levels and...

Disappointing news after 5 series. I though Nish Kumar, Rachel Parris and Geoff Norcott were excellent. There is already a lack of good satire on TV without losing another show.
